Dr. Ryan Wallrich

Dr. Ryan Wallrich is a proud Point Loma native. He opened Harbor Dental in 2018 with a simple goal: to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care in an approachable, neighborly way.

Friend. Neighbor. Dentist.

Dr. Wallrich isn’t just known for his clinical skills — he’s the kind of provider who remembers your dog’s name and genuinely cares how your week’s going.

Point Loma Pride & Dedication

Dr. Wallrich grew up right here in Point Loma, surrounded by the kind of people who value hard work, family, and community. His decision to open Harbor Dental wasn’t just about owning a practice. It was about building something from the ground up that truly reflected his values — compassion, authenticity, and excellence without ego.

As a dentist, he doesn’t believe in rushing patients through treatment or making dentistry feel transactional. Instead, he sees his role as a coach and advocate — someone who helps you make sense of your health, lays out your options clearly, and partners with you to reach your goals.

Whether you're coming in for a same-day crown or a full smile makeover, the experience is always designed around your comfort and confidence.

He’s especially passionate about cosmetic and implant dentistry, using digital tools and workflows to ensure every result is both beautiful and functional. His approach is rooted in precision, but also in empathy — because the way you feel when you leave the chair matters just as much as the treatment itself.

When he’s not at the office, you’ll find him spending time with family, staying active outdoors, or diving into continuing education to stay ahead of what’s next in dentistry.
